Love it or hate it. Seems there ain't now in between. For the post nazis:

Love it means you liked it/enjoyed the experience

Hate i means you didn't like it/would recommend it to others

I agree it was a well done flick, but I don't know about gold standard for CGI movies.

4 star model. Which puts it in the "good" range.

Gold standard for superhero movies, anyway. Transformers is close enough to count. Obv. Iron Man doesn't have CGI that is more impressive than Transformers. I hesitate to call Iron Man just a CGI movie because it has more than that (unlike Transformers).

mad tv is like a cult for lowbrow, where kids in the hall, the state were more cult for how brow.

I'd give it a 7 out of 10 - which makes it good, not great.

I don't like out-of-ten scales for movies, but I think we're in agreement. I think Iron Man is a good movie. 2 = average. 2 1/2 = above average. 3 stars = good. 3 1/2 = great. 4 = JIMP.

I'd give Transformers 2 a half-star (1/2 star).

Yes, I suppose that it is possible.

But the CGI was real nice. That has to count for something.

But please, continue on with this nonsensical position that I lack critical thinking skills.

Hey what do I know? I'm a cowardly idiot dumbshit.

Really? What did you think should have won that year?

I'm aware they make political statements like Crash but I loved Crash.

Great Expectations · 07-02-2009, 03:55 PM

I liked Munich better, Capote was better, but mostly because of PSH.

Mistakes made by the Academy could be better expressed through movies like Chicago or Titanic.

I liked Crash fine enough. Of the nominated films, I thought that Goodnight and Good Luck was its equal at least and that Brokeback Mountain should have won the prize.

Or Gladiator. Or Braveheart. There is no shortage of Best Picture screwups.

I wish that the Critics' Choice Awards were more prestigious.

Well, we'll have to agree to disagree on BM. One of few movies I got up and left.

Goodnight and Good Luck was tremendous. I would have had no problem with it winning.

Spike Lees "Do the Right Thing" is now 20 years old....wow, im feeling old.

That was a major Academy screwup. Didnt even get nominated, and Driving Miss Daisy won the best pic that year.
